<Our item number 104863><B>Reagan, Ronald.</B> Typed Letter Signed &#40;&#34;<I>Ron</I>&#34;&#41; as President, on White House stationery, 2pp, 4to, Washington, 14 June 1982. Very fine. To business executive Charles Broska, responding to his suggestion for bringing down market rates of interest. In part: &#34;<I>The idea has a good deal of appeal. But economists in the Administration confirm my suspicion that interest rates are determined by the fundamental forces of supply and demand….Just as grocers do business on the difference between their buying and selling prices, bankers make a living on the spread between the prices at which they buy and sell credit….Now, what would happen if interest rate ceilings were imposed on time and savings deposits? My feeling is they would create a shortage, just as in any other market….controls lead to shortages, which then create pressures for credit allocation and further government intervention. If there&#39;s one think they taught me at Eureka College, it is that to be an economist all you have to do is understand the words, &#39;supply&#39; and &#39;demand&#39;….we are…opposed to budget-busting bailouts and are encouraging the Federa Reserve to pursue a steady and predictable monetary policy</I>….&#34; More excellent content. With transmittal envelope. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;1,000-1,500. <BR><BR>Our item number 104863<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN=CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/38jpegs/104863.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> "
